as it was irrevocable and no other

Senor Balancourt replied that the
laws of ongress at such a time must
be set aside and congress should de-

nation because he was the only man
who could now save the republic;
Senor Diego Tamayo declared that

Havana. Sept. 2L—When Senator Dols
mounted the rostrum prior to calling
congress to order this afternoon he was
surrounded by a crowd of liberals and
moderates, all disputing at once. All
the voices were drowned in the effort
of everybody to be heard at the same
time.
The senator violently rang the speak-
er's bell and finally the assembly came
to order, the roll was called and the
presiding officer declared that a quo-
rum was present.
A message was received from Presi-
dent Palma presenting the resignations
of the cabinet officers, of the vice presi-
dent and finally his own resignation.
Senator Sayas then rose and de*
nounced Palma for accepting the resig-
nations of the cabinet officers without
naming substitutes.

Ware, Sept. SR. — (Speclal) — Judge
Sam R. Scott of this city, who was
judge of the Fifty-fourth district court
when the settlement of the penalties of
this county was made with the Stand-
ard Oil company several years ago, was
asked this morning for his opinion
relative to Senator Bailey and his
critics. He said:
•I have read Senator Baileys state-
ment as published in the papers. It is
a dignified and candid statement of his
position and unquestionably shows that
there has never been a time when he
was not true to the interests of the
people of Texas. I never thought for a
moment that he had ever at any time
■occupied any other position. The strong-
est and best evidence of his loyalty to
his people is his record in congres5,
whieh has stood and which stands to-
day without a challenge fromeeven the
senior's bitterest enemies.

negro the diagnosis is the three-1id
evil in the race- ignorance, immorality

causes are the past history of the race,
present racial antipathy, resulting in
the dominant attitude of the Caucasian

the brain and mental rapacity of the

habits of the negro (laziness, licen“

Kansas City Journal.
One of the most remarkable pen pic-
tures of the civil war is given in a
unique book which Hon. John O. Pax-
ton, the well known lawyer of inde-
pendence. Mo.. has had printed for pri-
vate circulation among his relatives
and friends as a memorial of his father.
Brigadier General Elisha Franklin
Paxton, commanding stonewall Jack-
son's famous brigade, who was killed
at the battle of Chaneellorsville while
leading a charge “with conspicuous
gallantry,’ as General Lee said in his
report of that awful day when so many
thousands of gallant men on both sides
gave up their lives at the dictates of
their consciences. ,
It to regretable that this book is not
published for general circulation, for
it would be read with keen Interest by
northerners as well as southerners, and
especially by the veterans of the civil
war. The hook is made up of letters
from General Paxton to his wfe from
the time he left her and their three
little boys in April. 1861,: as a young
lieutenant in a raw company, the Rock-
bridge Rifles, enlisted in his native
county, until his death in 1863. to-

loving care and tender affection and

I care not how mean a man may be, or
how low down he may have gone in
the scale of human degradation, there
always remains a lingering regard for
the influences of childhood and a re-
spect for the love of his mother. There
is a certain something planted by the
hand of nature itself in the heart of
the mother that prompts her to do for
her child that which no other person on
earth could or would do.
There is no way known to the human
mind, no method known by which you
can sound the length, breadth and
depth of a mother's love. No way by
which it can be estimated. gauge or
measured. And this feeling is not con-
fined to or prevalent in any particular
station in life. or any particular condi-
tion of society. It does not abide alone

All earthly affections may grow
cold, friends may forsake you, fortune
desert you. the holy love of the husband
or wife may change to indifference,
and be turned to loathing and disgust,
but the love of a mother for her child
will last and grow brighter while the
spark of life shall remain. The strong-
est instinct implanted by the God of
nature in the human breast. Is the in-
stinct of the female nature to love,
protect and defend her offspring. Even
to the extent of sacrificing her own
life. Even a bird. when the stranger
approaches its nest, will feign to be
disabled and injured and take the risk
‘of its own capture in order to protect
its nest. Even the wolf will turn and
defend her lair, at the cost of her own
life. This is true of all animated na-
ture. but to a still higher degree to it
implanted in the human heart, and it is
the love for her own child and the de-
sire to protect her own offspring that
prompts a mother to do for it that

no lamp to guide my footsteps in tne
pathway of duty, except that given me

right to the custody and control of this
child, and believing that no adequate
showing has been made by which she
should be deprived of it, I believe it my
plain duty to say in this case, the writ
should be granted, and the custody of
the child given to the mother. That
will be the decision of this court.

earnest, religious, conscientious lives
of the bulk of the army, especially of
Stonewall Jackson's men, who, like
Cromwell's Ironsides, prayed before
they fought and fought as they prayed.
The scenes in camp during the long,
hard winter of 1862-63, when shelter,
food and clothing were inadequate, are
particularly interesting, and most Im-
pressive of all is his brief, soldier-like
account of his brigade partaking of the
holy sacrament in the little log ehapel
and under the open sky among the
t rees.
General Paxton himself was not a
church man when he entered the army,
but like all conscientious men his mind
became powerfully impressed with the
horrors and miseries of the terrible
struggle and his letters show his grad-
ual turning toward religious thoughts
until just before his death when he
made public profession of his faith in
Christianity. Before his last battle .
had a premonition that he would be
killed in the engagement and he wrote
a most touching, manly letter to his
wife, bidding her goodby and express-
ing ills cheerful submission to the will
of God. Eemous for his bravery, hr
had no fear of death but the stern
soldier wrote like a little child in his
implicit faith and trust in his Divine
Father. The night before the fatal
battle he called his faithful alde-de-
I camp and gave him instruction* as to
the brigade and all els* needful to be
done after his death. Dawn found him
sitting in a fence corner calmly read-

New York, Sept. 28.—Nicholas Rivero,
proprietor and editor of Ei Diaro de la
Marino, the oldest paper in Cuba, said
last night that he did not .think any-
thing of importance would be accom-
plished at the meeting of congress to-
day in Havana. I the moderates at-
tended they would be in the majority.
They would appoint a nan to follow
Palma and the liberals would reject
him. No matter how they arranged
matters, the country would not be set-
tled until a permanent United Btates
commissioner was appointed by Presi-
dent Roosevelt. The ubans would like
to «ee General Wood return to the is-
land. The sight of the stars and stripes
floating from one of the public govern-
ment offices in Havana. Senor Rivero
said, would serve to keep the turbulent
spirits in check.

Jacksonville. Texas. Rept. 27.- -(Spe-
ciai.)--Hon. George B. Terrell, who was
a member of the Twenty-sixth apd
Twenty-seventh legislatures and also
Democratic nominee for representative,
in answer to questions asked said:
“I see no reason for jumping on Sena-
tor Bailey at this late day for his al-
leged connection with the Waterst
Pierce Oil company has been known for
six years, as well as his connection
with the Kirby Lumber company and
other corporations. For my part. I am
opposed to any man serving corpora-
tions while he is paid by the people to
represent them, and as I am not in-
structed by the Democrats of my dis-
trict to vote for Mr. Bailey. his name
having nbt been submitted in the pri-
mary held in Cherokee county, I feel
free to exercise my own Judgment at
the preaent time. .
“Mr Bailey is not the only man in
congress who represents corporations,
for it is well known that the majority
of senators and representatives are
stock holers in corporations or repre-
sent them as attorneys. As long as
this condition exists the masses of the
people will not be fairly and honestly
represented. . A,
“la ovder that the people may dis-
cover the corporate connections of the
moa asking their support for legisla-
tive offices, either in congress nr In ths
iegislature, I have advocated in the re-
cent campaign a law requiring all can-
didates for such positions to make affi-
davit stating whether er not they are
55,005 tons; the monitors and pro-
tected cruisers, more than 32,000 tons;
and the whole fighting fleet, including
the torpedo boats and submarines, but
excluding auxiliaries, an aggregate
displacement of upward of 244,000.
Relatively powerless and insignin-
cant as'torpedo boats may have looked,
the truth is that if one of them, the
Wilkes, could get near enough to such
a floating fort as the battleship West
Virginia and spit a torpedo out of her
tube in the right direction $6,000,000
would go up in the air and 800 men
would be food for fishes. We may add.
in order to refute some groundless ac-
cusations, that the cost of the naval
review, imposing as the pageant looked,
was negligible. The cost was com-
puted by Rear Admiral Evans (Fight-
ing Bob) at 8300 all told; for. aa he
pointed out. so long as a ship is in
commission it is just as cheap for her
to be at anchor off Oyster Bay as to
be steaming across the ocean.
A Mother’s Love.
Below we reproduce a copy of a deci-
sion rendered by Judge Irwin of Nor-
man, O. T., in a celebrated case over,
the custody of a child. That part of
the opinion touching upon a mother's
love is a jewel in sentiment and is
worthy of reproduction. It follows:
The sole remaining question is. What
is best for the child? From a financial
standpoint there would be no question
but that it would be better to leave it
where it is. But no man, I care not
what his surroundings may have been,
or what age or condition of life he

reach the vessel because of washouts

Bailey in joint debate at Greenville and
elsewhere. Mr. Crane has replied to
this petition in a letter to Henry
F. Ring of this city. While finding it
impossible to undertake the securing of
a division of time with Senator Bailey
on Saturday, Mr Crane indicates his
willingness to do so elsewhere. His
letter follows: “
H. F. Ring, Houston, Tex.—Dear Sir;
Your wire received. I answered as fol-
lows: “Time too short for preparation
and arrangement of preliminaries. See
letter.”
Tour request is that I meet Senator
Bailey in debate at Greenville, Satur-
day. There is but one day interven-
ing in whieh to make the necessary
preparation and to have him deter-
mine whether a division of time would
be granted. The time, considering the
character of the discussion. is unrea-
sonably short. It is true his admis-
Mions furnish considerable material,
but I do not wish to be compelled to
limit myself to them; another feature
of this would put me in a disagreeable
attitude.
My relations with Mr. Bailey are not
pleasant. For me to challenge him
might appear to the publie as well as
to him to be a personal attack, which
he would be justified in turning down.
If, however, some respectable body
of citizens should make a request of
him for a division of time at some nt
his subsequent appointments, I could
be Indicated as the one to represent
them. It would eliminate the personal
feature as far as I am concerned and
put the discussion upon a plane where
I would prefer to keep it; besides, I
would have time to gather the Informa-
tion from other sources that I under-
stand to be available, and then I would
feel prepared at every point.
I have no objection to debating with
Mr. Bailey, and you may consider this
as my consent to do so. providing the
meeting can be arranged upon the
usual terms covering debates and I am
notified suffciently in advance to get
the details which I must necessarily
work into an argument. - . 1
I trust you and your friends see the
reasonableness of this statement
there Saturday and speaking, and lie
had consented to do so, promising to
come here at the request of friends. It
is now announced that he will speak
here Monday afternoon, Oct. 1.

mander of the rural guards, as a candi-
date for provisional president.
As no general meeting* were held,
which were fully representative of all
the elements of the moderates and lib-
erals. the programme lacks definite-
ness.
Taft Certain of Interventien.
Secretary Taft said today that he
felt certain that the United States
would have to land troops tonight or
tomorrow at the latest and that a proc-
lamation establishing a provisional
government would be issued then.
His reason for suggesting that prob-
ably United States intervention might
not take place before tomorrow to that
congress may continue through the
night before a final decision is reached.
Numerous proposals were presented
to Messrs. Taft and Bacon today by
representatives of the opposing par-
ties, but for reasons sometimes suffi-
eient, but usually not, obstacles have
been placed In the way of agreement.
Not since negotiations were opened
by the American commissioners has the
nconstancy of Cuban politicians been
so clearly shown as today.
Taft Prepariag Proclamation.
In view of this situation, Seeretary
Taft ia certain the United States must
intervene and he is now preparing a
proclamation naming himself as mili-
tary governor to continue under au-
thority until order is restored and he
feels it is safe to surrender the charge
to a civil government. When that time
arrives he will recommend to Presi-
dent Roosevelt the appointment of
Reekman Winthrop, governor of I’orto
Rico.
The American commissioners antici-
pate a wild night in Havana. They are
predicting that congress will continue
the discussion many hours before an
agreement to disband is reached.
Ko long as the members confine them-
selves to talk, there will be no land-
ing of troops, but preparations have
been made for any emergency.
